Abstract

See full text

A system for multi-master unique identifier allocation comprises a server for allocating pools of identifiers to requesting servers and at least one server for requesting pools of identifiers and allocating individual identifiers as necessary. A single master server allocates 'pools' of unique identifiers to network servers upon request. The network servers in turn allocate unique identifiers from their pool as necessary when the server generates new system objects. When a network server's pool of unique identifiers is nearly depleted, the network server requests an additional pool of identifiers from the master server.
